Introduction
Karigane, also known as Kukicha, is a type of green tea made of stems, stalks and twigs. It may looked a little more washed out, but they're actually a higher grade and rarer form of green tea! Because of these twigs, they're actually higher in L-theanine, which brings a calming effect – hence reducing the jittery feeling you might get from caffeine. Compared to normal green teas, its also more complex and slightly sweeter in flavour, which might be more appealing and palatable to some!
